SAN DIEGO — John ''No Nose'' DiFronzo, the reputed boss of the Chicago mob, was sentenced along with an associate to more than three years in prison for their role in a scheme to infiltrate an Indian casino. U.S. District Judge William B. Enright on Tuesday also fined DiFronzo $10,000 and his alleged gambling adviser, Donald ''Wizard of Odds'' Angelini, $5,000. Both must serve three years' probation after their release from prison. DiFronzo, 64, was described by prosecutors as the boss of the Chicago mob, also known as the Outfit. He and the 66-year-old Angeli were convicted in March of conspiracy and fraud.
